Stop the World
By freakin' popular demand!
Part 2
Author's Note: If you have Napster, get Stop the World by the Goo Goo Dolls, and maybe you can understand this a little better...thank you all for such flattering reviews...Honestly, you made my day! I love you all! I think I got like 14 reviews, and no flames! Oh, Yay for me! Ok, enough with the bragging...on with the long-awaited story!
Oh no! Is Harry hinting what I think he's hinting? Oh no! I don't like him...or at least I don't think I do! What should I do? What should I do?
"You roped me in...I'll go."
Wait, do my brain and my mouth just not talk to each other any more?
"Good. Maybe it'll take your mind off things..."
"Yeah...maybe. Well, have you eaten your chocolate, Harry? Then we can get going!" Harry stuffed the last of the chocolate into his mouth and managed to say, "Less go!" in between mouthfuls.
"You make me laugh sometimes Harry!" Hermione giggled. "Well, let's be off!" They disapparated into Diagon Alley they walked around all day, pointing at stuff they wanted but knew they couldn't afford it. It was quite fun. Harry saw his Auror class walking again, and Hermione performed a complex spell to make him invisible. Harry was glad to have her by his side.
"We got them good! Where'd you learn that spell, Herm?"
"Do you remember when I was using the time turner? Well, I learned that just in case of emergencies."
"But why didn't you use it to get Pettigrew?"
"Well, my brain doesn't exactly function at it's best under pressure. Don't you remember the devil's snare? I remembered to light a fire, and said, but there's no wood! And Ron goes, "There's no wood? Honestly! Are you a witch or aren't you?"
"Hehehe...those were such simple times, weren't they?"
"Yeah...nobody fell in love or anything..."
"I'll treat you to some ice cream! Come on!"
"I'm right behind you!" They walked up to the ice cream parlor and decided to split the Chocolate Strawberry milkshake. They sat down at the booth, both straws in the shake, noses nearly touching. It was very hard for Harry not to fall subject to the obvious temptation.
"So, umm, Herm! Have you given any more thought to what you might want to do with your life?" Harry asked her.
"Yes and no. I'm leaning towards being a Doctor or a teacher. If I choose doctor, I could be helping people daily. If I choose teaching...I could be helping people daily. I just can't decide. At least I've narrowed it down."
"Yeah. It's hard to become an Auror. I'm not sure it's for me, though. I might want to quit this crud and become a teacher."
"You'd be a great one, Harry," Hermione said almost sheepishly.
"Thanks, Herm. And I'm sure whatever you decide to do, you'll be better than anyone."
"That's not true..."
"Yes it is. Give yourself some credit, Hermi."
"Guess so...hey, look at the sunset! Isn't it beautiful? Oh, Harry? Can we go outside and look at it...the shake's gone!"
"It is pretty! Yeah, let's go!" Harry put a Knut and 2 Sickles on the table. Then they walked outside.
"It's even more gorgeous from out here!" she exclaimed.
"Accio Firebolt!" Harry whispered.
"Did you say something, Harry?"
"Me? Nope!" After a few seconds, Harry's Firebolt appeared behind Hermione and him. He gently leaned her back wards onto the broom. She held onto his waist as he flew her up to the sky.
"Oh, Harry, thank you. It's so beautiful." Harry kissed her. She pulled away. "Harry, I don't know," she had a mixture of confusion and mad desire on her face. He kissed her again, just as the last rays of light faded from view. It was perfect. "Oh yes I do..." she said after he kissed her for the second time. This time, she kissed him back.
"Hermione?"
"Yes?"
"I-I think I love you..."
"Oh, Harry..." the Firebolt seemed to have turned all by itself and headed towards Hermione's flat. They seemed to have kissed the whole way. When they made it to her porch, the door magically burst open, allowing them to just sail right in. They tipped themselves off the flying broom, and landed with a bump on the couch.
"Hermione? Are you going to tell me how long you've felt this way about me?"
"About a minute..."
"Ok...I confess...a little bit longer for me..."
"Really?" Harry nodded his head yes.
"Ever since you threw up in despair..."
"Oh yeah, huh! That was kinda funny...a couple hours later..." she giggled. Harry kissed her again. Harry lay back on the couch; Hermione was on top of him, kissing him back with fire. After a while, they stopped and both rested their eyes. They both fell asleep, in the same position.
******************************
Harry woke up in the morning, with Hermione's head on his chest. She had an odd sort of smile on her face. He began to stroke her hair gently, ever so gently, so as not to wake her up. He just wanted to enjoy the moment with the woman he loved on top of him. She did eventually wake up.
"Hmmm? Oh, hi you! Did we fall asleep like this?" she said very groggily.
"Yes we did...last night was great, Hermione...thank you for letting me see the sunset..."
"No problem...hey, what time is it?"
"It's-oh no! I'm supposed to be at Auror classes right now! It's ten! Great! Now I'll really have to quit! Bye, Herm!" He kissed her sweetly on the cheek, and in less than a minute, he was up and gone. The night before had gone by so fast...it was almost as if someone had pressed fast forward in Harry and Hermione's life and stopped it right as Harry left.
"Music!" she went to turn on her music. She turned it on, and proceeded to take a "shower." She went to a circular part in her floor that looked like a small tub. "Showerus." All the dirt on her became dry and fell into the tub. "Disaperius!" It was gone. She was fresh and clean. "I wish you could fall down...can ya catch me darlin!" She was singing along to the music. Ron used to love this song. He would always say that his voice sounded sexier than the guy singing it. I love Ron...oh no...do I love Ron and Harry both?
"Singing along to the music again, Herm?" Harry was back.
"What are you doing back so soon? I thought you were training to become an Auror."
"I was. Until I ran into Professor Trelawney. She said hi, studied my face a little, and then told me that Dumbledore had said that it was ok if I came and taught Defense Against the Dark Arts. Amazing that she got out of that misty room. I think Dumbledore bribed her. She knew I opting to become a teacher...she read my mind a couple weeks...maybe...if she was lucky..."
"Congratulations, Harry! I'm so proud of you!" She ran up and kissed him passionately.
"Wow! If I get a job teaching every day, will you kiss me like that every day too?"
"Shut-up and kiss me back!" They stood there kissing for about 2 minutes straight.
"What do you want to do today, Herm? I'm free until school starts...well, about a week before school starts...and today's the first day of August..."
"Great! Well, where can we go? There's Diagon Alley, but we've been there all ready. Um, we could go in the Muggle streets? Or, what about a Hogsmeade? Yeah! I think Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is up. Let's go check out the twin's joke shop!"
"Good thinking! I've been meaning to go check out their place...I have some stock in them..."
"Really? Wizards have a stock exchange?"
"No. I'm just pulling your leg. Now, why don't you change...you don't want to wear the same thing you wore yesterday, do you?"
"Harry, we're wizards! We always wear the same thing everyday!"
"I know...I'm just pulling your leg. Come on! Are you ready or not?"
"Yes, yes I'm coming!" They went off to the twin's shop. It was a really neat shop, too. It had twenty times the stuff Zonko's had. Zonko's customers would wander in there, and just literally fly into the Wheezes. Harry and Hermione had a fun filled day together. When the sunset came, they did the same thing. It was the same everyday for 3 months.
*************************
3 months later...a week before Ron and Edwina's wedding.
"Harry, thank you for taking me away from the trouble of getting Ron back...I love you now..."
"I love you too, Hermione." Yet again, they were looking at the sunset...on the Firebolt.
"Hermione? Will you marry me?" Harry opened a small white box and inside was a beautiful diamond ring. It was at least one carot.
"Oh, Harry! Do you mean it?"
"Yes, Herm. I mean it. I know we've only been going out for 3 months, but that 3 months in our 5th year counts a little, right? And, I don't know...I feel so sure about this!" He slid the ring on Hermione's finger. Tears of happiness wear streaming down her cheeks.
"I love you so much, Harry!"
"I love you back..." The last rays of light were gone, and they flew back home. Harry had long since moved in. They climbed into their bed, and Hermione fell asleep on Harry's chest, looking at her ring...wondering...
The next day, Hermione was out shopping while Harry was at work. He had taken the night before off, just to propose to her. He was living with her when he wasn't at school, and that was almost never. Hermione had just walked out of Eylopes Emporium when she bumped into Ron. Luckily, he was alone for once. After they said hi to each other, she showed him her ring.
"Congratulations, Hermione. I'm really happy for you." His smile didn't quite reach his eyes. "Hey, I was thinking. Do you want to dress as Muggles and go see a movie? Maybe walk around a bit? I've nothing to do. Edwina has been in Ireland telling her family why she is marrying a sap like me!" he tried to chuckle.
"Ha-yeah. Um, sure! I'd love to with you. Harry's teaching and I haven't a thing to do. I start teaching next year. Minerva is retiring."
"Is she? I thought she'd never give up!"
"Me too. Guess not. So, would you be the head of the Gryffindor house?"
"Yup. Guess Dumbledore trusts me enough."
"Well, good for you, Herm! Now, let's go to the movies!" They changed and were there. They piled into the movie theater and sat down. The theater darkened. They were seeing some kind of horror movie, although they didn't know it. They saw a goblin in the picture and foolishly mistook it as a comedy. Half way through "Attack of the Killer Goblins," one of them killed a girl.
"AAAAGhh!" Hermione screamed and buried her head in Ron's chest. If she weren't so scared, she would have noticed that Ron had tensed up, and her heart hadn't stopped beating after about ten minutes of hiding in his chest. "Uh, sorry Ron. Just got a little scared..." Too close...too close...too close...oh! I got too close to Ron!
"I thought this would be hysterical!" Ron exclaimed, saving the awkward moment, until people around him told him to shut his pie-hole. "What do they mean? Shut my pie-hole?"
"Ron, they're telling you in a very nasty way to shut-up..." she giggled. When the movie was over, they decided to go into a local bookstore. It had a sign outside that said book signings by J.K. Rowling. "Come on, Ron! Let's go see Jo! She hasn't seen us for ages!"
They visited her, (might as well add: best author in the world) then walked home to Hermione's flat. They got there, still laughing about the movie. Hermione turned on her CD. She had forgotten about their song, Stop the World. When it came to that song, Hermione started to dance around. Ron put his hands on her waist and gently glided her around the room. Her heart was racing so fast. She allowed herself to be steered by his strong arms. She put her arms around his neck, as the danced to a rock and roll Muggle song. Neither of them spoke a word.
You need someone to hold you
You need something that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
And you're holding on forever
But that something just ain't true
I'm just like you
And I know
It's what I'd do
Here I go
Cause I could stop the world, 'cause I loved you
I could stop the world, and I don't want to
I could stop the world, and I won't
Cause it ain't enough
You had another bad day
You let me know that you just can't take it
I've given up on you
You live in truth and I know I can't fake it
Cause the stars you see are on a dirty sidewalk
And they ain't for wishing ooh
They don't come true
And I know, it's what I'd do
Here I go
Cause I could stop the world, 'cause I loved you
I could stop the world, and I don't want to
I could stop the world, and I won't
Cause it ain't enough
I'm not too young for the world
I'm not too young for the world
The song ended and they just stood there, still, looking into each other's eyes.
"Er-uh-I-uh-er." That was what Ron said.
"Uh-yeah-I-er-uhh-do you remember Fallin' Down, Ron? It's by the Goo Goo Dolls too! Remember? Here, let me put it on..." that was Hermione.
"Oh, uh, yeah! I remember this...you're making me fall down...I'm fallin down again! I DO sound sexier than him..."
"I don't know Ron...he sounds pretty sexy when he says that...you making me...part."
"Put Stop the World back on...I love that song...let's dance..." He put his hands around her waist.
I should feel uncomfortable...why don't I?
She put her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. They stood there again. Finally, Hermione regained feeling in her legs and pulled him around the room herself. He finally joined in. When the chorus came around, he pulled her closer and sang to her. For some reason, her eyes watered up. She was thinking about the time when they were going out. She pulled away, turned off the music, and announced abruptly, "Ron, I'm feeling very tired. I'm going to go to sleep." And she went off into her bedroom and shut the door. Ron simply disapparated. The next morning, they both decided to go swimming in a local Muggle pool.
"This is so much fun! I haven't been swimming in so long, Herm!"
"Yeah! Me too. They were there all day. Finally, it got dark, and they decided to go. They picked up their stuff. Hermione set down her stuff.
"Hold on...my hair's coming out..." Ron picked her up and threw her into the pool.
"Hey! What did you do that for, you big oaf?"
"It's fun to swim in the dark!" Finally after about 15 minutes, they got out of the pool. Nobody was there, so they both decided to apparate. None of the lights were on, so it made it much easier. "Well, bye Ron! I lo-see you tomorrow. She almost kissed him on the lips. Good thing the lights were off.
"Um-I lov-yeah, maybe...I might have to actually go to work tomorrow...Herm? I need to tell you something." He grabbed her, and he kissed her.
Disclamer...yet again, Fallin' Down and Stop the World belong to the Goo Goo Dolls, but their Cds belong to me. Ron and Hermione and Harry belong to J.k. Rowling. Jo Rowling belongs to herself...Edwina (sadly yet surely) belongs to me.
Oh, by the way, I just got a review alert, and somebody flamed me for the first Stop the World! I'm mad! But, I had 16 other good ones...I think I'll get more flames for this one though...even though I kinda like babbling between friends and couples...
